School Run


What is Travelwise NI School Run?

Travelwise NI School Run is a new web based journey sharing initiative (developed by Liftshare, School-Run.Org ) which will help take the stress out of the school journey.  The  initiative gives you the opportunity to find a travel partner for your children for the school journey, either walking, cycling, using public transport or car sharing.
Roads Service are carrying out a trial with 9 schools (listed below) from across Northern Ireland, parents of children from these schools will  have access to the programme during the school year 06/07.  The programme usage and effectiveness will be monitored over the trial period with a view to extending the facility to other schools in 07/08 school year
  • Friends' School, Lisburn
  • Groggan Primary School, Randalstown
